Testimonials

Thank you all for putting together and facilitating such an incredible and successful Medium Photo Festival. It was amazing to connect with so many other talented photographers and to have a wonderful and intense shared experience. Not only did I finish the weekend feeling energetic and reinvigorated from all the great feedback from both the reviewers and all the other participants, but I also left with an expanded community. It is very rare that anyone get the chance to spend time away from the real world with a group of people that share your passion for photography. I feel very fortunate to have attended. I wish I could have stayed for the whole weekend!

Also wanted to say, again, how impressed I was with the quality of work included in the portfolio reviews. It was great to see such a nice range of strong material, and to meet so many lovely people. Thanks especially for your excellent work in managing the preparations and flow of the event. Wonderful to be a part of something so well-conceived and executed.

Thanks you so much for putting together such a fun and dynamic photography event! I really enjoyed attending and participating in Medium. I thought the whole program was very well organized, and I appreciated having the opportunity to attend each happening since there was rarely any overlap.

I wanted to tell you what a terrific event the conference was last weekend! I got a lot out of it in every respect– intellectually, creatively and socially. Made more connections than I possibly thought I would. Showed my work to far more folks than I thought I would. Feel focused and energized about what I want to make next (once I fully recover from the sleep deprivation, that is).

I just wanted to write and say thanks once again for all your hard work putting together the festival. I had a really great time, got some great feedback in the portfolio reviews, and made some new connections with local artists. I really couldn’t have asked for more, and it’s all thanks to you and the rest of the festival organizers.

I truly appreciate all the effort and time you put into creating and executing the festival. I recently moved to San Diego from Manhattan and it’s wonderful to have this resource with such a high caliber of people.

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Medium last month. The selection and variety of presenters / artists was excellent. I know it was a huge effort on your part, and others. One thing I really liked was the scale. I am used to going to SPE and sometimes it gets overwhelming.
